Community Survey About CFML IDE

April 9, 2008 ·

Adobe has conducted surveys on ColdFusion IDEs in the past but, for obvious reasons, hasn't posted the results. Now
Jim Priest has created an 'Open' CFML IDE survey. Encourage every CFer you know to take the survey!

@Matt, it's probably standard corporate policy to protect their research which technically becomes their property. If they published the results then a competitor that produces IDEs could use that research to their advantage. Okay, the CF IDE commercial market is limited to erm, DW only I think so that's a bad example, but it shows how little value publishing the results would have to competitors in this specific case.

Another reason for not wanting to publish results could be that if XYZ was the most requested feature and it never made it into the final product everyone would complain that Adobe don't listen and is ignoring their own research. You know we would! :-)
